The ads are frustrating. They pop up in the middle of articles and make you wait to cancel out of them. The posts are generally good otherwise.

I understand having ads, but the app has become unusable.

Intrusive, constant ads make app awful, impossible to read. Find anything ekse to get sci articles.

Forcing full page ads on me which take over my phone and turn on the sound, is a sure-fire way to get a 1 star review. It's too much. Done with this app.

It used to be good, but now there are numerous ads including loud videos and unskippable long videos. Uninstalling after using this app for years

Ads are WAY to intrusive.. If an ad prevents me from using your app or your services, there is no point to your app or service, and all you are is dumb commercial.. There should NEVER be a full screen ad... An ad that can't be closed or exited without having to close the app or browser.. Please fix this or your app will be round filed.. Thanks..

Far too many intrusive apps. It's faster to close the app and reopen it than to deal with the ads. I've stopping using this one. Articles are interesting, but often outdated.

App is good, but I am facing one problem, when ads run I can see the countdown, It get freezed to 5sec. After the end on video I can't even cut/close the ads. This is the main problem I am facing. Give an update to end this problem.

Want to rate it higher but it has a really annoying pop-up on screen whenever I lose wifi or data access and it takes wayyy too long to go away. I don't need the app to tell me I don't have wifi. Every cell phone on earth tells me that in the upper right corner. Please remove!
